actually its still ahead of your last post. calling lewis 38 and fighting byrd when he was 37 and to fight kirk johnson. I also love how you make lewis out like he was a shot fighter when he had just demolished tyson and looked impressive in his prior outing. vit would have given any version of lewis fits and possibly knocked him out if he wasnt opened up again by a freak grazing punch
Larry Holmes Vs Vitaly Klitschko (better era)?

it was 7lbs. its not a huge amount, but Lewis had shown in the past that he fought better when he kept his weight down. I think more than anything it was his age and year long layoff.
If anything, Vitali looks to have trained harder. he was fighting an undefeated unknown, who had a good reputation as a puncher. Lewis was scheduled to fight someone he knew he would have an easy time against.
a man whos already on the top fighting someone who doesnt pose much of a threat is not going to train as hard as someone searching for a title, imo.Comment
